DURHAM, N.C. (AP)

Seth Higgins tossed a touchdown pass and ran for another to help
Morgan State put away North Carolina Central 34-22 in a Mid-Eastern
Athletic Conference matchup Saturday.

Higgins ran 11 yards for a score and threw a 27-yard strike to
Graylin Harrison as the Bears (2-5, 2-1 MEAC) jumped to a 21-0 lead
in the first quarter.

The Eagles (3-4, 1-2) trimmed their deficit to 11 when Jordan
Reid scored from nine yards out and Oleg Parent kicked a 41-yard
field goal. Morgan State responded with two Chris Moller field
goals and a 4-yard rushing score by Robert Council, pushing the
Bears' lead to 24 in the fourth quarter.

NC Central pulled within 12 following an Adrian Wilkins 91-yard
kickoff return touchdown and a 5-yard score from Malcolm Bell to
DeMario Johnson, but couldn't inch any closer.
